Conflict Resolution In The Aftermath Of The World Trade Center Attacks: A Family Mediation Program, Alan E. Gross
Conflict Resolution In The Aftermath Of The World Trade Center Attacks: A Family Mediation Program, Alan E. Gross
Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution
It is not unusual for a disaster or crisis to give rise to increasing tensions, interpersonal disputes and general conflict; however, even after an unexpected disaster of the magnitude of the 9/11 attacks, mobilizing conflict resolution services was not a priority for conflict professionals. In the wake of 9/11, mediators, arbitrators and other conflict resolvers were primarily concerned, like their fellow citizens, with their own safety and the safety of their families. When the fear of harm from additional attacks eventually subsided, many who had not been directly affected turned their attention to assisting those less fortunate who had lost …
Identifying Juror Bias: Using The Pretrial Juror Attitude Questionnaire For More Effective Voir Dire, Sara Jane Mobley
Identifying Juror Bias: Using The Pretrial Juror Attitude Questionnaire For More Effective Voir Dire, Sara Jane Mobley
Criminology & Criminal Justice Theses - Archive
A vast amount of empirical study exists regarding both the juror decision-making process and testing the validity of various methods for finding juror bias. Juror decision making is based on a multitude of factors including, but not limited to, ability to retain information, strength of evidence, preconceived ideas about lawyers, the justice system and law enforcement. Further, the concern regarding judicial economy during voir dire gives rise to ineffective attorney questioning as well as pressure placed on jurors to fulfill their duty to serve. This study seeks to rely on a version of the Pretrial Juror Attitude Questionnaire or PJAQ …

The Violence Against Women Act: Denying Needed Resources Based On Criminal History, Jaime M. Yarussi
The Violence Against Women Act: Denying Needed Resources Based On Criminal History, Jaime M. Yarussi
Project on Addressing Prison Rape - Articles
This article aims to discuss the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) and the Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) in regards to funding for mental health treatment and crisis servic- es for incarcerated survivors and victims of sexual violence. It will begin by illustrating the need for services because of inmates’ likely history of victimization and draws conclusions regarding the impact that denying VAWA/ VOCA resources may have on the recovery of incarcerated victims.

Wrongful Convictions As Rightful Takings: Protecting "Liberty-Property", John Martinez
Wrongful Convictions As Rightful Takings: Protecting "Liberty-Property", John Martinez
UC Law Journal
This Article poses a new theory of compensation for exonerated prisoners, one based on a theory of relational property as applied to wrongful convictions. This Article proceeds as follows: First, the Author establishes a nuanced definition of "wrongful conviction," differentiating between substantive and procedural wrongfulness, defining "conviction," discussing the role of causation in the definition, and discussing the incidence of such convictions as defined. Next, the Author describes the current legal doctrine for wrongful conviction compensation through the example of two wrongfully convicted prisoners who spent thirteen years on death row in Louisiana. The Author briefly considers the normative foundations …

Deaning For Whom? Means And Ends In Legal Education, Hon. Kristin Booth Glen
Deaning For Whom? Means And Ends In Legal Education, Hon. Kristin Booth Glen
Seattle University Law Review
I was an accidental dean. Law school deanship, or any kind of administration, was something that had never occurred to me. But after almost thirty happy and rewarding years as a constitutional litigator, state trial and appellate judge, and frequent law school professor, my dear friend, W. Haywood Burns, asked me to apply for the deanship at City University of New York School of Law (CUNY). Any request from Haywood was a good enough reason for complying. When, to my surprise, I was selected, I had to confront the more profound question of why I should become a law school …
Judging Innocence, Brandon L. Garrett
Judging Innocence, Brandon L. Garrett
Faculty Scholarship
This empirical study examines for the first time how the criminal justice system in the United States handled the cases of people who were subsequently found innocent through postconviction DNA testing. The data collected tell the story of this unique group of exonerees, starting with their criminal trials, moving through levels of direct appeals and habeas corpus review, and ending with their eventual exonerations. Beginning with the trials of these exonerees, this study examines the leading types of evidence supporting their wrongful convictions, which were erroneous eyewitness identifications, forensic evidence, informant testimony, and false confessions. Yet our system of criminal …
Defense Perspectives On Law And Politics In International Criminal Trials, Jenia I. Turner
Defense Perspectives On Law And Politics In International Criminal Trials, Jenia I. Turner
Faculty Journal Articles and Book Chapters
As international criminal trials become more prominent, a fundamental question persists about their purposes: Are the goals of international criminal trials primarily legal, similar to the objectives of domestic trials, or are they primarily political, such as helping communities heal and compiling an accurate record of the past? Courts and commentators often acknowledge both legal and political purposes of international criminal trials, but fail to prioritize among them. This paper examines the purposes of international criminal trials through the perspectives of an overlooked, but important, participant in these trials¿the defense attorney. Through personal interviews, scholarly articles, and case law, I …

Empirical Study Of Hate Crimes In The United States: A Systematic Test Of Levin And Mcdevitt's Typology Of Offenders., Rayna E. Momen
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
The purpose of this study was to test Levin and McDevitt's Typology of Offenders theory using NIBRS data. Analysis of data from the National Incident-Based Reporting System on hate crime offenders (1995 - 2000) reveals that for thrill-seeking offenders 1) white adults age 18 and older are significantly more likely to commit hate crimes against perceived homosexuals, and 2) that white adults age 18 and older, suspected of using alcohol and/or drugs are significantly more likely to commit hate crimes against perceived homosexuals known to the victim, at the victim's residence/home. For defensive offenders, the following result was found 1) …

No Names, Please: The Virtual Victimization Of Children, Crime Victims, The Mentally Ill, And Others In Appellate Court Opinions, Joel M. Schumm
Georgia Law Review
Google and other search engines allow anyone with Internet access the ability to obtain a wealth of information about their neighbors, acquaintances, employees, or even adversaries. Although easy access to information is generally a positive development, the easy discovery of highly personal and stigmatizing information often is not. It is particularly disconcerting when the information is being purveyed by appellate courts around the nation when they post hundreds of opinions to court websites every day. This Article surveys the use of initials and pseudonyms in appellate opinions for victims of crime, children, the mentally ill, jurors, and others. It discusses …
Plea Bargaining And Procedural Justice, Michael M. O'Hear
Plea Bargaining And Procedural Justice, Michael M. O'Hear
Georgia Law Review
Recognizing the increasingly dominant role of plea bargaining in the American criminal justice system, legal scholars \have devoted considerable attention in recent years to problems of accuracy and proportionality in cases resolved by guilty plea. However, an overriding focus on the outcomes of plea bargaining misses the important contributions that process makes to the acceptance of outcomes and the perceived legitimacy of the criminal justice system. Drawing on the extensive social psychology research on procedural justice, this Article proposes five process norms that prosecutors ought to observe when making or responding to plea offers. Paying greater attention to procedural justice …
A New Era Of Federal Sentencing: The Guidelines Provide District Court Judges A Cloak, But Is Gall Their Dagger?, Anna E. Papa
A New Era Of Federal Sentencing: The Guidelines Provide District Court Judges A Cloak, But Is Gall Their Dagger?, Anna E. Papa
Georgia Law Review
Federal district court judges today have a level of sentencing discretion that has been unknown since the adoption of the United States Sentencing Guidelines. This Note reviews the history of the Guidelines and outlines the problems that have resulted from the Supreme Court's decisions in Booker, Rita, and Gall This Note argues that the confusion may be clarified by giving effect to the text of 18 U.S.C. §3553(a), which requires that federal district court judges impose sentences that are sufficient, but not greater than necessary, and requires them to examine all the factors provided in the statute. The court's recent …
Domestic Violence And The Workplace: The Explosion Of State Legislation And The Need For A Comprehensive Strategy, Deborah A. Widiss
Domestic Violence And The Workplace: The Explosion Of State Legislation And The Need For A Comprehensive Strategy, Deborah A. Widiss
Articles by Maurer Faculty
In recent years, domestic violence legislation has migrated out of its traditional locus in family law and criminal law to include a rapidly growing body of employment law. The new laws respond to a relatively simple problem: Economic security is one of the most important factors in whether a victim of domestic violence will be able to separate from an abusive partner, but domestic violence often interferes with victims' ability to maintain jobs, thus causing job loss that further traps victims in abusive relationships. By providing supports to victims and empowering employers to take direct legal action against perpetrators of …
